Who's the most surprising rookie in the NFL this year?
Wow, another qotd that I could give a shit about.
Which overly paid mass of muscle do I think is surprising? Hmm. Uh. None of them. Did they cure aids? End world hunger? Become politically active and back a cause worth fighting for? Begin an age of everlasting peace? Refuse to pay because of the outrageous sum of money they're paid? Yeah, I thought so. Silly me.
It just isn't my thing. I refuse to envy or pledge my undying attention to anyone who I believe really hasn't done anything worth deserving it. Maybe some of them are cool off the field. I couldn't say. I've yet to meet someone who could manage to make me watch it.
Over a million iPhones have been sold. Have you: bought one, considered it, or decided it's not for you?
Let me answer this honestly: I can't afford one. I'm also locked into a contract with Verizon for another year and change and everyone else I talk to is also on Verizon. If I suddenly found myself with the $ and at the end of my Verizon contract, I'd renew it and buy a phone with a qwerty typing pad. I'd use the remainder of the money to put towards a laptop and car repairs. It's just not a priority to be able to get more internet out of a phone.
I'm not saying that I'd turn one down or that I don't like them. It's just not exactly feasible at this point in time to indulge in it.
I spent last week thinking: I can't wait until Friday. I can't fucking wait until the weekend. Well, it came and now it's over. I don't like this pattern. I know things aren't right when I find myself thinking such things.
I was going to post this really long entry on Friday bitching, but I decided not to. It would have accomplished nothing. I think a lot of people could have felt my pain and understood my frustrations... But it was what it was and I decided I had to let go. Basically, it had to do with getting a new responsibility at work. A new additional task that I've don at various other places... I'm not especially fond of having this duty follow me where ever I go but it does and I've got to learn to suck it up.
Saturday was a good day, but I ended it terribly. I got miserably, sloppily, disgustingly drunk. I haven't put myself in such peril in a very very long time and now that I'm beginning to feel like a human being again, I realize that it wasn't really worthwhile. I took it too far. I don't think I'll be doing that again. When I woke up the only thing that bothered me more than various pains acting up was a sense of shame. No one was shaming me, I was ashamed of myself.
Aside from wrecking myself Saturday the one thing I recall doing, much to my amusement, was calling and leaving about 1/2 hour of drunken messages on my friends voice mail. He's been going through a lot of grief himself and at the time I had a feeling of having a lot of messages when I'm in such a silly state would help put a smile on his face... That is, if I was even able of being understood.
I spoke to another friend Friday night. We talked about various things and then she started talking about how she 'hated her life'. It was funny because we went on for a long time talking to each other about how much we hated our lives and how we had no idea we'd end up where we are now, as miserable as we are. Is this the new epidemic? Do you hate your life and find yourself disappointed with where you've ended up? Doesn't it suck?*
* Let me just state that not everything is terrible. I just thought there would come a certain time in my life where I would have established firm roots in a career path and attain a level of comfort in my life. I do not feel even slightly close. I thought I'd have a more social life but for some reason, it just seems undesirable. I can't feel happy, then I don't want to be anyones anchor. If I don't meet people who make an effort to get to know me, then I'm left with no one. I'm not typical. I'm not 'normal' (as in 'hey, lets watch sports, go hunting and chug a 12 pack!'). Bah. I could go on but I can hear the crickets cue up.
Show us a good time.

Okay.
I have just tried buying some MP3's from Amazon. HOLY CRAP. There's nothing to it... Just, before installing, make certain to quit Firefox. I bought an old favorite cd of mine that went missing sometime last year. This cd is probably one of the most important and loved cd's I've ever bought.
The quality of the MP3's are astounding - They're high quality VBR MP3's (encoded from 200kbps+) with no DRM. The price varies but every purchase is pound for pound a better deal than iTunes (sorry iTunes). I doubt it will beat iTunes or replace it, but it's one hell of a deal.
Today is Vox's first anniversary since the official launch. What's the best experience you've had on Vox in the past year?
I've been on Vox longer than this. Hence my coveted "I was a Vox beta tester" tag.
My best experiences came with each neighbor I've gained. Each time someone comments and reciprocating. It's nice to know there are a lot of good people out there (and a lot of them in my 'hood).
Heroes is beginning to bother me. When shows bother me, I begin to care whether or not I see them from week to week... SO. How can we fix Heroes? Let's start by killing off Mohinder Suresh. I don't care what his blood can do. The man's depicted besides stupid in the dictionary! Oh and give peter his memory back and let him finish off Sylar already, okay? Oh and that person or force that was supposed to be worse than sylar, is that what's his faces dad? Are you serious? OKAY. ALRIGHT. FINE.
